Are you passionate about creating lasting change, making a real impact, and acting as a catalyst for building stronger, more resilient communities?

Are you good at building relationships, with awareness of the voluntary sector and working with volunteers?

Charity People are pleased to be supporting Tempo Time Credits, a charity that brings people together in local communities to carry out valued and important voluntary work, with their search for a Programmes and Partnership Manager based in London and the Southeast.

Tempo Time Credits started 15 years ago and is an ambitious movement that empowers, encourages, and engages people from all walks of life, from communities across the UK, to get involved and volunteer. For example, befriending or helping to improve outdoor spaces. Volunteers earn Tempo Time Credits as part of a reward and recognition which can be exchanged for a range of services and activities provided by our local and national partners.

In these challenging times, community support is more crucial than ever. Tempo stands at the forefront having engaged with 40 commissioned programmes, collaborated with 1,500 charities, empowered over 15,000 volunteers, issued over 1 million Time Credits, cultivated 750+ business venues offering rewards, and pioneered the world's first national Time Credit network.

The Programmes and Partnership Manager will spearhead regional operations in London and the Southeast, driving the Tempo mission forward.

Key responsibilities:

* Management of Contracts, Staff and Resources: You will lead on managing contracts, staff, and resources effectively, and ensuring your team is well supported.
* Network Delivery and Performance: You will oversee programmes and networks including community groups, services, and business partners, ensuring programmes meet targets and outcomes. You will develop and implement regional strategic plans, lead training and workshops for network partners, and plan and deliver profile raising events.
* Partnerships, Stakeholder Management and Reporting: You will establish and nurture partnerships to facilitate community engagement and volunteering pathways. You will manage stakeholder relationships and report to key funders and partners. You will generate new business leads, design programmes, and negotiate contracts enabling the network to flourish.

The Programmes and Partnership Manager will have proven experience in managing programmes, engaging with stakeholders, and managing budgets. The successful candidate will be able to communicate effectively, including delivering presentations and writing reports, able to build relationships quickly and work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders. You will have strong facilitation skills and have experience of managing or working with volunteers. You will be target driven and experienced in working within a role with a varied, demanding workload with the ability to adapt to change, deliver results, and work independently, as well as part of a team. The successful candidate will be proactive and passionate about communities and creating positive, lasting change, with an awareness of the voluntary sector and its opportunities and challenges.

The role is home-based within London and the Southeast and there are projects in Cambridge in the East of England. The successful candidate will be expected to attend regular meetings in London every other week, as well as travel within the region and nationally occasionally for which expenses will be covered. The role will require occasional evening and weekend work for which time off in lieu will be given. The role is part time and could either be 3 or 4 days (between 21 and 28 hours) with flexibility on when those hours are done, such as 21 hours over 4 days. The role will be subject to satisfactory references and a DBS check. The ideal candidate will be based in London as most travel will be within London. The salary for candidates based in the Southeast, outside of London will be £30-32k.

If you are creative and solution-focused with drive and energy to work within a growing, ambitious charity, Tempo Time Credits would love to hear from you.
